Crash

My friend Lauren wasn't wearing a seatbelt when the car she was sitting in the back of spun out and hit a tree. She fell out of the car, and was pronounced dead about an hour later.
Her death has hurt us all, and we hope that her death can save the lives of others. Please, PLEASE wear a seatbelt every time you step into a car.

Seatbelt. Undone. Blackness.

Rain. She's gone. Speeding. spin out. Tree. Slam. she fell out.

Hospital. Dead. Flat line. Ten Pm.

Seatbelt. Cry.

Disbelief.

Dead, Gone. Crash.

No Seatbelt.

Broken heart.
